Method Detail

write

public String write(VectorFeature[] vectorFeatures)

Write an array of VectorFeature objects in a particular format that depends on the specific format object. For example, a WKT format object writes the features in Well Known Text format: WKT wktFormat = new WKT(); String wkt = wktFormat.write(vectorFeatures);

Parameters:

vectorFeatures - - an array of vector features

Returns:

a String containing the vector features written in a particular format.

write

public String write(VectorFeature vectorFeature)

Write a VectorFeature in a particular format that depends on the specific format object. For example, a WKT format object writes the features in Well Known Text format: WKT wktFormat = new WKT(); String wkt = wktFormat.write(vectorFeatures);

Parameters:

vectorFeature - - a vector feature

Returns:

a String containing the vector feature written in a particular format.

read

public VectorFeature[] read(String vectorFormatString)

Read a String representation of a vector format into an array of vector features.

Parameters:

vectorFormatString - - String of a particular vector format

Returns:

array of vector features
